The questions we cover are: - What is apologetics? - How did you get started in studying apologetics? - How does learning good thinking (logical fallacies, cognitive biases, etc) correlate with apologetics? - Why is it important to think well about your faith & about the things we are bombarded with from media, culture, etc.? - What should we do with our difficult questions? - Where could someone begin if they are interested in starting to learn apologetics?

In episode 14, I briefly mentioned something about having a GOOD conversation with others...even those who share a different viewpoint than you. But I felt like I left you hanging a little bit on HOW to go about doing that. So, today, instead of teaching a new fallacy, I'm going to teach you 5 essentials to having a GOOD conversation, even when you and the other person disagree. The 5 Essentials to GOOD communication are: 1. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. 2. Be willing to be persuaded. 3. The goal is to seek truth. 4. Respect & love for the other person. 5. Beware of your own emotional triggers. Want to test yourself on how well you can recognize fallacies in real life?
